That time of year

3 of us usually go out together for lunch at squires garden centre. There were 5 at one time. Stella and her mum but she is now to frail to join us and a s lady called Frances. France's dropped dead a couple of years ago. It was such a shock and I don't think I am over it yet. So it's now 3 of us, Anne, Stella and myself. What to choose.
No one offered to take the table covers and tea towels yesterday so 3 wash loads and a good drying morning and they are done.
Our minister confirmed we fed 130 yesterday.
Very unusual but no offers of help to the kitchen at clear up time.
And today I bought my first gf mince pies
